Chapter 215. The History of Two People (3)
There is a legend on the continent.
When an angel descends from heaven and kisses the dead, the soul of the deceased who breathes in that breath peacefully goes to heaven—quite a romantic tale.
‘Then is a kiss an act of claiming each other’s souls?’
Between the steady sound of falling water drops.
Rough breathing and wet sounds mixed in.
Kaiden’s lips were as hot as his hands.
‘…It might be similar in that it feels like dying.’
The more we breathed in each other’s breath, the more we craved the heat passing between our lips, the more thirsty we became.
Feeling our hearts beating faster and faster, it felt like we had become companions racing toward death together.
“…Damn.”
Kaiden briefly separated his lips and buried his face in my neck.
He muttered in an irritated voice.
“It’s better than I imagined, which is annoying.”
“…If it’s good, then it’s good. What’s there to be annoyed about?”
“It would have been better if I had known sooner.”
When did we end up in this position?
Kaiden was holding me tightly in a face-to-face embrace.
It was exactly like the position Emilia takes when she doesn’t want her beloved doll taken away.
“…Pfft.”
“Why are you laughing?”
“…You seem to resemble Princess Emilia.”
“Me? Emilia?”
Kaiden’s straight eyebrows shot up.
“…Are you teasing me for acting like a child right now?”
It seems he still holds a grudge about being called a brat in the old days.
Seeing how much he hates being treated like a child even slightly.
“Of course not. How could I dare tease The Emperor?”
“Liar.”
Kaiden turned his head to look at me.
His cheek touching my shoulder was slightly flushed red.
“You caught me.”
“…I told you not to treat me like a child.”
Kaiden, who had been pouting, pressed his lips to mine again.
Unlike the first kiss where he drank desperately like someone who found an oasis in the desert, this was a very slow and gentle kiss.
“…Why.”
Our lips separated for the second time.
Kaiden asked with our noses touching.
“Why didn’t you avoid it?”
His golden eyes shook anxiously.
The king of an entire nation was reading my expression.
“If you don’t share the same feelings as me, if you just accepted it reluctantly, tell me now…”
He looked like someone afraid of something.
Kaiden held me tightly and changed his words.
“No, don’t say anything. It would be better not to hear it.”
“What do you think I would answer that makes you so afraid?”
“…You said so yourself.”
The young king’s expression darkened as if recalling an unpleasant memory.
“That sincerity isn’t necessary for such things.”
The day Kaiden came to the Prince’s Palace as a guest flashed through my mind.
I recalled my past mistake when I tried to seduce Kaiden myself, thinking he needed someone to attend to his bedroom.
“…As Your Majesty knows, I am an assassin.”
An assassin was a tool for killing.
To kill a target, one had to be able to use sexual seduction without hesitation to be considered a professional.
Of course, I had never slept with a target for the sake of killing, but there were countless times I had shared light kisses or physical contact.
“As I told you, I can do such things without sincerity. That’s how I was trained, and that’s how I’ve lived.”
Ordinary men probably wouldn’t understand.
Perhaps that’s why I was more drawn to Ian.
Since we were in similar positions, I thought we could better understand each other’s circumstances.
“So it’s true that I don’t place much significance on such contact.”
Although I made a living committing the sin of murder, that didn’t mean I lacked the same human heart as others.
“But I’m not accommodating enough to reluctantly accept kisses from a man I dislike.”
After saying that, my stomach felt bitter somehow.
I let out a self-deprecating laugh and lowered my head slightly.
“Well, I understand why Your Majesty would doubt my intentions.”
“Kayla, I…”
“But what can be done? The woman who saved your past self was neither a goddess nor a saint, but an assassin from the back alleys.”
He must have been very disappointed.
Perhaps he thought I was a person not worth associating with.
When someone discovers that the person they thought was great for saving their life is actually just bottom-dwelling scum who would kill anyone without regard for means or methods for money, wouldn’t anyone feel that way?
‘If that’s the case, I don’t want to hear it either.’
Unlike how I didn’t think my life was shameful, having others regard my life as shameful seemed like it would be more miserable than I could imagine.
Especially if the other person was the boy I had once saved with my own hands.
“Thinking about it carefully, I think I should apologize. Perhaps Your Majesty was also caught up in the atmosphere and acted impulsively…”
Suddenly I was speechless.
It was because Kaiden kissed me again.
This time I turned my head this way and that to avoid his lips.
“Kayla.”
Then rough hands grabbed my chin.
Kaiden looked me in the eyes with his eyes wide.
“I wasn’t caught up in the atmosphere, and it wasn’t an impulsive mistake.”
“Your…”
“Didn’t I tell you? I’ve wanted to do this to you for a very long time.”
The hand gripping my chin gradually loosened.
I stared at Kaiden without thinking to close my parted lips.
“What I was worried about was simply what would happen if you didn’t share the same feelings as me.”
Kaiden continued with a frown.
“Not because you had some purpose, not to gain some benefit from me, but because you’re a kind person.”
Kind enough to risk your life fighting for a nameless boy. Kaiden’s voice grew quieter but sounded clearer.
“So I was worried that this time too, you might have reluctantly accepted just because you felt sorry about rejecting my feelings. That’s why I asked.”
A light silence flowed.
I stared intently at Kaiden’s face and opened my mouth.
“…Brat.”
“You again…”
“Do you like me that much?”
“…What?”
Kaiden seemed more surprised by the informal speech that slipped out unconsciously.
He was staring blankly into my eyes as if entranced.
“Even if I was your lifesaver, I was an assassin.”
They say all human lives are equal, but there definitely existed a faint line that could distinguish between lives worth saving and lives not worth saving.
“…To ease my guilt, I would sometimes perform such hypocritical acts. Saving you was one of those hypocrisies.”
A sinner’s life of committing crimes and repenting repeatedly.
I forced the corners of my mouth upward and asked.
“Even after I brought you to the barbarian village and returned, I continued killing people.”
It wasn’t for some grand conviction, personal revenge, or the fate of a nation. I simply killed people because I was paid to do so.
“If I truly hated that life, I would have fled from the organization. Even if it meant being hunted for life and dying miserably.”
But I chose to live rather than die.
Assassination was the price of survival.
“I’m not the kind or good person you think I am.”
Why does everyone arbitrarily treat people as good people?
When I unconsciously thought of Catherine and Edwin, I felt a stabbing sensation inside my chest.
“I was just a hypocrite who couldn’t choose either path, a tool that existed to kill people.”
“…In this world.”
Kaiden, who had been quietly listening to my words, suddenly spoke up.
“There are mountains of humans who ruin other people’s lives without even killing them.”
His calm voice echoed gently throughout the cave.
“You said you were a tool that existed to kill people.”
My reflection appeared faintly in his golden eyes.
“Who holds a tool responsible?”
It was a frighteningly pure gaze.
There wasn’t a speck of falsehood on Kaiden’s face, which still retained traces of youth.
‘Does this guy know?’
That sincere words without any sexual implications can drive a person crazier than any other temptation.
I slowly raised my hand and lightly touched the area around Kaiden’s eyes.
“…I don’t believe in love. I can’t trust people who speak of love to me either.”
“That’s….”
“It’s not Prince Kaiden’s fault. It’s purely my problem.”
My head understood, but my heart refused.
My heart was still screaming at me.
Asking if I didn’t know that even if I loved someone, the end would be hell.
“Since I was murdered in such a way, it can’t be helped.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Kaiden’s face contorted terribly.
As if he was thinking of someone he wanted to kill, veins bulged on his forehead and the back of his hands.
“…But if it’s you.”
I quietly murmured while looking at such a Kaiden.
“I think someday I might be able to change my mind.”
Kaiden’s expression, which had been quietly angry just moments before, changed completely.
He blinked his eyes slowly as if dumbfounded.
“Are you sincere?”
“You’re doubting me again.”
“No, I mean, I….”
“Whether I’m sincere or not, please judge for yourself, Your Highness.”
Our lips met once again.
I wrapped my arms around Kaiden’s neck.
When I slightly raised my body and climbed onto his knees, I felt him stiffen.
“Kayl, ra.”
His awkwardness was only momentary.
Kaiden embraced my body and called my name with heated moans each time our lips parted.
Like that, the two of us shared our breath as if exchanging souls.
Again and again, again and again.
